Redeeming Your American Express AIR MILES Credit Card Rewards
Overview
In 1997, American Express Canada partnered with the AIR MILES rewards program to introduce the American Express AIR MILES credit card, exclusively for Canadians. This partnership was renewed in 2005 with a multi-year agreement.
The Importance of the AIR MILES Program
American Express Canada has acknowledged that its collaboration with the AIR MILES rewards program has significantly helped expand its membership base. According to a survey of 1,000 Canadians, nearly 50% are members of some form of rewards program, indicating the importance of such initiatives for credit card competitiveness in Canada.
Earning Reward Miles
You can earn reward miles by using your American Express AIR MILES credit card for various purchases, including charity donations, entertainment, subscriptions, and travel at participating sponsors. Earn one point for every $15 to $20 spent, depending on your card type. There's no cap on the number of miles you can earn or redeem.
Types of Reward Offers
- Print an Offer: Print the offer from the sponsor's website and use it in-store to receive a bonus.
- Click an Offer: Redeem online offers without visiting a physical store.
- In-Store Offer: Visit the sponsor's location to earn a bonus, no purchase necessary.
- Contest Offers: Participate in sponsor contests for a chance to win items and bonus miles.
Redeeming Your Miles
If you're just shy of the miles needed to redeem a reward, you can purchase the extra miles using your American Express AIR MILES card. You can buy up to half of the required miles, paying 30 cents plus tax per mile. However, these purchases are non-refundable.
By understanding and utilizing the various earning and redeeming options, you can make the most of your American Express AIR MILES credit card rewards.
